I will try to help you understand. Two years ago, Peter Sims asked: "Can we trust Uber?"[24]. The answer is no.There's just way too much awful stuff going on at Uber to ignore all of it or claim everyone's distaste is political. (It's also silly to suggest that all of the media and/or Silicon Valley have the same set of ulterior motives.)Here's just a sampling of Uber's misconduct. Some of these items cross categories, but I've tried to roughly
Not just any huge corp, but Uber - getting away with shady stuff is in their DNA

Yes, people like to see the titans fall, but people also like to see those who behave poorly get what they deserve for that behavior. That's what's happening here.For reference, here is a list I compiled a while ago of
